No crontab for root.

Dear All,
I am setting my cron to work. I am in the root account/ So first I type as vi crontab -e. Then it ask me type "visual" for normal mode and do that then I type the following as below
1 * * * * root usr/local/testClient/runClient.sh>/usr/local/testClient/cron1.log and press esc type wq. Then I restart the cron service /etc/init.d/crond stop and /etc/init.d/crond start. Lastly when I type crontab -l it tells me no crontab for root. So where did I go wrong any help please ?
